H1Z1 ‘pay to win’ critics can get their money back from Sony

Sony Online Entertainment started selling its massively multiplayer zombie-survival game H1Z1 on Steam yesterday. Today, the company has offered to give people their money back.

John Smedley, the president of Sony Online Entertainment (the computer-gaming division of Sony), hopped onto the H1Z1 community on Reddit today to address fan concerns over what many are calling “pay to win” options. Smedley says that players who have a problem with the game can email the company to get a refund. The offer is only for people who purchased H1Z1 before 10:30 a.m. Pacific time today.
